I teach mathematics to 150 young adults who are very driven to do well in my class and graduate on time, even though they find the subject to be difficult. My students are willing to do the traditional practice that comes with math, but perk up and are extremely engaged with creative activities/projects such as math poetry, math songs, and math art. For the competitive activities, they perk up when they receive extrinsic rewards such as stickers, snacks, or simple school supplies. We weave math with literacy and creativity whenever possible! While we are a Title I school, my students are very strong, and they come to my class every day with a growth mindset by asking questions, not giving up, and advocating for themselves and others.
My Project
In the winter months many students will miss out on learning opportunities due to illness or frequent needs to go to the restroom to blow their nose, wash their hands, etc. It is my hope that having wipes and facial tissues readily available in the classroom will lower the spread of germs and maintain a healthy environment.
The whiteboard is life-- my students love using the whiteboards to reinforce learning and practice examples with their peers, but have a habit of using their hands to wipe the writing off.
The magnetic erasers (one for each board) readily available will hopefully encourage cleanliness.
My students enjoy writing additional examples and do corrections on post-it notes, to stick on top of their main notes. Popup-notes dispense one at a time from the dispenser, hence more sanitary and less wasteful than traditional packets that are passed around and end up on the floor.
